Summary Barcelona vs Bayern Munich: score, statistics, goals and summary | UEFA Champions League 24/25

Barcelona 4-1 Bayern

It’s a long walk from the back of the goal to the fans in the stands at either of the short ends of the Lluís Companys Stadium. But for the Barcelona players at the end of the game, it simply gave them more time to raise the noise of the olés before join the party

A simply stunning performance in what was billed as the toughest game of the season so far, coming in a tournament that had seen them go down once – not like in the league – leads us to ask the question: Is Barcelona good now?

Turns out, maybe they are. A Raphinha’s goal after 60 seconds wascanceled by Kane on two occasionsone offside and ruled out, but from then on the historically wobbly pool table tilted squarely in the Germans’ direction as they swallowed shot after shot, counter after counter and goal after goal.

Raphinha found corner pockets three times and he will bring the headlines and the MVP award and all the covers tomorrow morning, but from 1 to 11 that was Barça at its bestand his most dominant in Europe perhaps since Messi’s free-kick against Liverpool.

They don’t have Messi anymore, but they do Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Gavi, Pau Cubarsí, Fermín and around 100 other youngsters to get the fans out of their seats, and tonight he showed that the future could be bright.

His near future? Well, that’s it a match against Real Madrid the weekend
